I think the better approach is permanent standard time. If that came about it's a very simple technical matter of just stopping DST and everything flows fairly naturally from there. The Committee should also be aware how that option would greatly simplify technical issues. Am I right about that?
In any hypothetical conversions with Senate staff I am not planning to advocate whether to go to permanent standard time, or move one time zone east (a.k.a. "permanent daylight saving"), or doing nothing - other than perhaps the obvious point that doing nothing is simplest technically. I don't want these larger issues to drown out the importance of a year's notice of any timekeeping changes. As I understand it we're united on needing a good long notice, even if we may disagree on which timekeeping change, if any, is advisable; and I want to focus on where there is pretty much universal technical agreement.
